Crypto Analytics

Overview

A comprehensive multi-chain blockchain analysis tool using live API data:

• EVM networks: 60+ chains via unified Etherscan V2 (Ethereum, Sepolia testnet, BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, Avalanche, etc.)
• Bitcoin: Via Blockchair API
• Solana: Balance via public RPC (tx history requires external service)
• Built-in rate limiting and 5-minute caching
• No credentials needed for basic usage (API key increases Etherscan limits)

All commands return JSON with optional human-readable formatting.

Privacy & Data Handling

This skill respects your privacy and operates transparently:

• External data collection: None. Only standard blockchain APIs receive your queries:
  • api.etherscan.io (Etherscan V2)
  • blockchair.com (Blockchair)
  • Public Solana RPC endpoints
• Local caching: API responses are cached for 5 minutes to respect rate limits. Cache files are stored in ~/.openclaw/cache/crypto-analytics/api_responses/ and may contain queried addresses, transaction hashes, and other public blockchain data you requested. Files are automatically expired and can be manually deleted. This data never leaves your machine.
• Environment variables: Optionally reads ETHERSCAN_API_KEY from a .env file located in the OpenClaw workspace root. No other environment variables are accessed.
• No subprocesses or dynamic code execution: Pure Python with requests library only.

You can audit the source code in scripts/crypto_api.py – it's straightforward HTTP + JSON.

Configuration (Optional)

Set ETHERSCAN_API_KEY to increase rate limits (free tier: 5 calls/sec). Get a key from https://etherscan.io/apis

export ETHERSCAN_API_KEY=your_key_here
# Or add to ~/.openclaw/workspace/.env

When to Use This Skill

Use crypto-analytics when you need to:

• Check wallet balances across multiple blockchains
• Investigate wallet activity and transaction patterns
• Look up specific transaction details
• Validate blockchain addresses
• Determine which chains are supported
• Integrate live blockchain data into OpenClaw automations

Example Scenarios

"Check my ETH balance"
balance 0x... ethereum or auto-detect if address starts with 0x

"How much BNB do I have on BSC?"
balance 0x... bsc

"Show me recent transactions for this Bitcoin address"
transactions 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa bitcoin

"Is this a valid address and what chain is it on?"
validate \x3Caddress>

"What chains do you support?"
chains

"Get details for tx 0xabc... on Arbitrum"
tx 0xabc... arbitrum

"Check my USDC balance on Ethereum"
token 0x... 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9bB0e3606EB48 ethereum

"Show all tokens I have on Ethereum"
tokens 0x... ethereum

"What's the current gas price on Arbitrum?"
gas arbitrum

Implementation Notes

API Providers

• Etherscan V2: Unified endpoint for 60+ EVM chains. Free tier: ~5 calls/sec, 5k-100k/day depending on chain. API key significantly increases limits.
• Blockchair: Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin, etc. Free: 100 req/min, 4k/day.
• Solana RPC: Public endpoints (rate-limited) for balances only.

Caching & Rate Limiting

• TTL: 300 seconds (5 minutes)
• Cache location: ~/.openclaw/cache/crypto-analytics/api_responses/
• Rate delays: Enforced to stay within free tier limits
• Batching: Multiple queries in same session use cache

Configuration

Set API keys in .env:

ETHERSCAN_API_KEY=YourEtherscanKeyHere

Key optional for low-volume usage but recommended.

See references/api_index.md for full API documentation and references/chains.md for chain specifications.

Limitations & Future

Current limitations:

• Solana transaction history requires specialized indexer (Solscan API)
• Solana token metadata (symbol, name) not available; only mint addresses are shown
• No batch multi-address queries
• Free tier rate limits apply

Planned enhancements:

• Transaction tracing and money flow analysis
• Contract ABI decoding for read calls
• Additional chain-specific features
• Enhanced Solana token metadata (via token list)
